Working Pathways: Consulting Leadership

In addition to day-to-day management, most Vice Presidents are charged with growth and innovation. Growth and innovation in their teams, their products, and the larger organization. Internal teams rarely have capacity to clarify their leader’s hunch and prove out business value within months, let alone weeks. Nor do they have the VPs high-level business expertise. On the other side, executive leadership usually provides little direction or input, simply trusting in the VPs ability to be successful. This means many VPs are working through their hardest challenges alone, without a trusted, disinterested outside party challenging them.

I partner with VPs, Directors, and other executive leadership in organizations large and small. Together we’ve developed annual business strategies, re-organized their team, mined leading success metrics, researched M&A targets, refined technical architectures, debated future business scenarios, and built new products from scratch – all while ensuring the internal team is focused their highest priorities and the executive leadership continues to be happy.
